nixos/prometheus-dovecot-exporter: enhance socketPath documentation

Browse source 
In Dovecot 2.3[1] the stats module changed and now the UNIX socket
provided by Dovecot by default isn't compatible anymore with the
exporter[2]. By enabling the `old-stats` plugin in Dovecot this issue
can be solved which should be documented in this module.

Path under which the stats socket is placed.
The user/group under which the exporter runs,
should be able to access the socket in order
to scrape the metrics successfully.
Please keep in mind that the stats module has changed in

is not <link xlink:href="https://github.com/kumina/dovecot_exporter/issues/8">compatible with this exporter</link>.
The following extra config has to be passed to Dovecot to ensure that recent versions
work with this exporter:
